I'm getting grief from a certain 999. A 675 SE keeps calling and I'm trying to swat it away like a pesky mosquito.

Even though I have to say that I would like to have the only one in our riding circle, if you decide to get that one you might want hustle.  There was someone down there looking at it on Wednesday.  Who knows how long it will last...

Would you molest it?

It's only molesting if the rest of the world finds it wrong.  noone could find fault with that.

I won't do anything immediately on the 675.  It all depends on the final outcome of the 999 and how long it takes to sort out the immobilizer. It's also just about due for a valve clearance check/adjustment. Plus, if I decide to sell it who knows how long that might take and it'd have to sell before any other bike comes into the picture. Hey, I could just have the Monster as the only bike and that'd be just fine too. I lie to myself. Actually not. It would be good. Whatever happens I think all might take a month or three.

So does that mean there could be a shiny new 848 in your future?  ;)

Speaking of which, do you have enough miles on that D675 to get her up to 13K?  How's that sound?


Title: Re: Check this out!
Post by: DRKWNG on June 02, 2008, 11:25:44 PM
I took it out yesterday afternoon for a bit.  Was running late on the way home and got it up around 11K+ while accelerating onto the H1.  It sounds pretty angry at those engine speeds.   [evil]

Just found this on Ducati.ms.  Got to love the Belgique when they make WWII period looking creations.

That's rather prettty.  I'm sure it has something to do with the case of work-enhancing jupiter beer in the background.  [thumbsup]
